What is Postmates?

Postmates is one of the fastest-rising apps in the on-demand landscape, providing users with food delivered straight to their doors within hours of delivery.

I’ve personally used this service multiple times, and consider it as good as, if not even better than, Uber Eats. I’ll save that comparison for a later post, but just know you’re making the right choice by checking out this app.

Ordering food is as easy as pulling out your smartphone, tapping the app, and selecting the food that sounds good to you. Once you do that, just place your order and food will arrive before you know it!

Are you new to this service? Watch the quick video below for an idea of what to expect when ordering.

If you haven’t already, read all the information below before you sign up and place an order. Many users skip this step, but miss out on the Postmates promo code that will save them money on both the order and free delivery!

Postmates Promo Code for New Users

If you’re a new user that hasn’t yet placed an order, you’re in luck, because right now there are multiple Postmates promo codes that are sure to save you money on your orders.

These can range from promo codes for free deliveries, to $10 off of your order, and in some cases, great offers that give free shipping AND a discount on your order.

Below I’ll outline all these offers and show you which one you should pick.

1. New User Discount (Our Favorite)

As a way to acquire new users, Postmates is giving users who haven’t downloaded their app or placed an order a $10 free credit good towards delivery.

Using this method is by far the easiest way to save money. It’s also an overall killer deal that will get you started with low risk to your wallet or bank account.

To apply this promotion to your account, get the Postmates app for either Apple or Android (or alternatively, postmates.com) and go through the account creation process. From there, enter the code in the “Add Code” tab in your profile, then you’ll see the credits.

Once applied, you have 7 days to place an order and redeem the free credit. We suggest placing an order the same day you apply the code, that way you won’t forget before the expiration date.

Like this deal? If you like saving money on food delivery, then you need to check out our Uber Eats promo code, which will also give you $10 in free Uber Eats credit.

2. Postmates Unlimited Membership [Prepay Annually]

Aside from the promo code listed above, there’s also another promotion that is running that shouldn’t go overlooked. It saves money on orders, and also prevents higher prices that other customers often incur.

To keep users using their service, the company rolled out a subscription plan, known as Postmates Unlimited, which charges users $9.99 per month when billed annually.

In exchange for the subscription fee, Postmates Unlimited members receive some fantastic benefits, including:

Alcohol and groceries delivered in under 30 minutes for free, no matter the order size

In order to encourage users to sign up for Postmates Unlimited, the company offers a free trial period. In addition, first time users will also receive a 30% discount. They will be charged $6.99 per month as opposed to the regular cost of $9.99

If you are a regular user of Postmates, the membership subscription is well worth the price of admission and can end up saving you quite a bit of money over the course of a year.

Here’s how you can try Postmates Unlimited for free:

How to Claim Your Postmates Promo Code

If you need additional help applying the delivery credit to your account, follow the quick tutorial below.

Open the Postmates app and tap your profile icon in the top left corner of the screen.

Tap the cog that appears.

Click the “Add Code” button on the top right corner.

Enter “6AAMA” in the box.

Place your order and enjoy the discount!

This is where new customers will enter the Postmates coupon code into their delivery app.

Once applied, your free delivery credits will be saved to your profile. When you make your first order, the promotional saved to your profile will be automatically applied.

In the event that you cancel your order for any reason, the credit will remain active on your account and will be applied automatically to your next order, if applicable. If you run into any other issues while trying to redeem a code, you can always contact Postmates Customer Service department via their online Help Center.

Postmates Promo Code for Existing Users

When looking around for offers, it’s not uncommon to see lists full of Postmates coupon codes aimed at getting new customers to try out the service. But what about Postmates promo codes for existing users?

Initial promotions serve as terrific incentives for new users to give the Postmates service a first try, that doesn’t mean existing customers end up left out in the dark.

There are a few different ways you can earn credit even after you’ve claimed your first deal:

Most Reliable:

Postmates Referral Program

Occasionally Works:

Local deals and seasonal promotions

Hit or Miss:

Codes found on coupon sites

The easiest and most effective way to earn free Postmates credit is to use their referral program that allows you to refer new users. After that, Postmates sometimes shares seasonal or local promotions, which then get shared online and sometimes work.

1. Postmates Referral Program

Like most service-type apps these days, Postmates allows you to earn free delivery credit by referring your friends and family to the app.

When first time users sign up through your referral link, they will automatically receive a $10 delivery fee credit for their account. In return for the referral, you’ll also earn $10 in credit. It’s a system set up so that existing customers have incentive to refer new users.

The credit the new user receives can be applied to their first delivery, but it must be used within seven days. As the referring party, your $10 credit will remain valid for up to three months, giving you more flexibility with when to redeem it.

How to find and share your code

By default, ever existing Postmates user has a referral code unique to their account. To find it, navigate to the menu within your profile, then tap the button that says “Invite Friends” near the top of the screen.

There are a variety of ways to share your code, including message, email, or social media. Alternatively, you can get creative and actually put your code online or promote it on your actual blog.

Even better, you are able to share your referral code as many times as you would like. This is a pretty big deal, as many other services will cap your earnings or credit once you refer a certain amount of users. When this happens, it’s really frustrating, so I’m happy to see that there’s no limits.

If you are able to refer a large number of your friends and family, you can end up saving yourself quite a substantial amount in delivery fees!

2. Occasional Deals

Another great way for existing Postmates users to unlock great savings is by watching for deals from Postmates or local restaurants. These often come in the form of seasonal deals, but can appear seemingly out of nowhere at any time.

These types of deals are promoted via email, push notifications through the app, or on Postmates.com. When these types of promotions are live, they are very obvious and hard to miss.

The promo offers tend to be similar as those offered for new users, with options such as free delivery and $10 to $20 off your order total being common.

3. Coupons found online

Last on our list are Postmates promo codes for existing users, which are advertised as tested and working. These are found on sites like Retailmenot, Coupons.com, Amazon (weirdly enough), and other social media channels.

Unfortuantely, while some of these might occasionally work, most are not working and simply a shameless attempt for one of these sites to get your click. Don’t fall for the trap, otherwise you’ll likely end up just wasting time and money.

On the contrary, there are some great resources that are actually trying to help users. These include Reddit and occasional Twitter pages.

The best thing to do with this resource is use your own judgement and make sure you’re not committing to something bad. You may be surprised what you find!

Conclusion

Postmates definitely offers a great service that’s beneficial for both local customers and local businesses. Thanks to their innovative approach, you no longer have to wait days or even weeks for your online order to arrive. Instead, their network of couriers can have your dinner, drinks, or latest gadget delivered to your doorstep within minutes.

With promo codes that offer free delivery service and incredible savings on top of that to the tune of $10 to $20 off your order total, there’s no reason not to dive in and try out Postmates yourself today!
